Group 4 seems to be quite stacked while Group 2 is caster hell, or group 3, if you don't like PvP and BlyvP. | ||

Group 1: Taeja, Stephano, Fraer Sjow will probably be beaten up by all other members, if he doesn´t get back in IEM-winning shape. Taeja should advance first and after that there is the possibility of a Fraer>STC>Stephano>Fraer - tie, but I´m giving Stephano a little edge over the other ones. STC and Fraer are about even, but Faer won last time, so I give the edge to him. Ofc. every member of the first 4 has a chance of beating every other, so no one is really save here. Group 2: 4 Protoss and Bly = not possibly predictable. Hoping for MaNa and Socke, but tbh. it could be anyone in this Group. Group 3: Nerchio wins, Targa has a slight edge over TLO/monchi. Dimaga has looked in pretty bad shape lately, I hope he can make a comeback here, but I don´t believe he can atm.. Group 4: Another brutal group, can´t really decide between this and group one for the hardest. HerO should be favored, because Nani´s PvP looked a bit off lately. However, I´m giving Nani the advantadge over both T´s. The TvT is pretty even; I´m giving ThorZaiN a higher chance to beat one of the protosses, but IMHO he has as well a higher risk of losing to Ret (Who I don´t see being a factor for the group winning). Think I´going with ForGG in this one, but hoping for ThorZaiN. | ||

the only player that stands out negativly atm is SjoW imo. Everyone else in both groups is pretty scary. I think Ret has a pretty hard time again :/ | ||

But a lot depends also on ThorZains form. Hero is also really upanddown. But it's looking really fun and exciting, makes me more inclined to take the trip up there. Why do people still underrate fraer? He got top 4 and top 8 and beat three Koreans at the two DH events he went to, he surely isn't "going to get murdered"! | ||

It's all relative to the groups of course, and I might be wrong about Fraer, but he's one of those people who have never stood out to me. Might be my own ignorance of course, but he does look like one of the weaker links in the lineup. | ||

i don't know about all the fuss about group 4, sure it's really strong, but group 1 is the real star imo. groups 2&3 are a lot weaker, but still good in terms of players of course. but yeah, 4 of one race won't make for the most fun groups to watch, especially when the 4 players aren't T in either group t.t | ||

2. Mana, Sase, Hoping for Socke, but probably Bly 3. Nerchio, Dimaga, TLO 4. Ohhh this is the hard one, If I had money on it, Hero, Naniwa, Thorzain, but really hoping Ret makes it. | ||

2- Mana, Socke, Bly 3- Nerchio, TLO, Targa. 4- ForGG, HerO, Ret (maybe, if he won't lose 100 drones a game to helions) I'd say group 4 may be the group of death. But mostly because everyone in that group is about the same skill atm, except ForGG who is really good now. HerO - very good, but not doing that well lately, not very stable play too. Ret - not playing very well lately too. Thorzain - not stable as well, either hit or miss. Naniwa - a bit more stable play, but far from perfect. Also I don't like how there's 4 toss players in group 2 and 4 zergs in group 3. | ||

I've been warned for posts like this, and I even edited the thing I was quoting Sad that Thorzain got such a difficult group, and that Polt (and I believe a couple of other Koreans?) couldn't make it, but still hyped, Dreamhack is awesome. ^_^ | ||

3-2 for HerO if it's BO5, or 4-3 if BO7 Calling it right now, Liquid-EG DH winter finals all over again. ( Actually HerO - Puma was probably the most intense finals I've ever watched emotionally talking, EG - Liquid, HerO countering the 1-1-1 of Puma perfectly on dual site, such awesome finals, so many nerd chills. ) | ||

1.Stephano, Taeja, TheSTC, Fraer, Sjow 2.Mana, Bly, StarNaN, Socke, SaSe 3.Nerchio, Monchi, Targa, TLO, Dimaga 4.Thorzain, ForGG, Naniwa, Hero, Ret My perspective Group 1 Stephano has three terrans in his group and one protoss which can give him a small favor, also because he's doing well lately. Taeja is for me the favored over TheSTC, Fraer and Sjow. While although Fraer has the same small favored as Stephano he will not be able to beat TheSTC. Looking at SjoW lately I don't think he's able to beat even one of the players, maybe taking one game. Group 2 At first I said Bly first place, but I think Mana won't let him do that. StarNaN is doing well lately and will beat both Socke and SaSe in PvP, while I think I will give Mana a small favor over StarNaN, but had to think three times before saying. Bly will have an more easier shout because he just has to practice against Protoss, although he only had a few successes lately. Group 3 Looking at the results Monchi did well against Nerchio in the past, but even when Nerchio losses again this time will favor the group, cause his ZvZ is mighty enough to take down both TLO and Targa. Having watched some of TLO's games lately, I think I will favor Targa above TLO for this tournament. And Dimaga might take a game, but won't win a single bo3 unfortunately, cause he's a great guy. Group 4 Seeing the luck that Ret doesn't have in all tournaments I put him last, but he's still a great player, I just can't look in his practicescheme. Thorzain will beat both Ret, Naniwa and ForGG only losing to Hero. But Hero will lose to both Naniwa and ForGG, while ForGG beats Ret and NaNiwa. That makes the group clear. The BYOC From the BYOC participants so far I think Elfi, Sage, Ziktomini and Sortof will advance, but still depends on the bracket. But I also guess Giant will pass.... oh wait :D Going to Dreamhack it will be fun watching my bets and the real outcome, but the players I said will qualify, the groups will be far different, especially the one having Elfi and Sage. | ||

Where did you find BYOC list? Although I suspected SortOf would give it a go, will most likely go through. And then pray he gets in to group 2-3 and not group 4 ^^ Although I think SortOf´s ZvZ has been his weakness in earlier tournaments so group 3 is maybe not so great after all. I wonder if any Korean will bother to attend BYOC, someone who is not in GSL as of now. It would actually not be such a bad idea for a top Korean to attend. Imagine if for example rain would show up, it is not like he is going to get defeated in BYOC tournament, or at least I very much doubt so. | ||

I feel as though they always reserve a group for a European to come out by not putting in any koreans. Bias! The groups are made by the seeding points the players earned throughout the 2012 DH circuit. Hence why the champions are divided in separate groups. And all the other DH tournaments this past year had randomized groups as far as I'm aware? | ||

Too bad he has such a difficult group. He still can beat TheSTC and has a shot against Stephano/Taeja. Fraer is actually a PvZ specialist. I would favor him over any korean zerg bar for Life, Leenock, Symbol and HyuN. | ||

STC is overall a very good player but can't seem to continue that on foreign soil - Last 2 MLG's, Bucharest and Lone Star he was quite awful so based on that 3rd place will be a toss-up between them 2 but saying he has a shot vs Taeja or Stephano is highly over-optimistic | ||

HerO, ForGG, Naniwa Ret stands 0 chance in this group, thorzain is inconsistent, hero has slaughtered naniwa @ pvp before, hero has strong pvt & any pvz he plays is good enough to beat ret, forgg is overall quite strong and should get 2nd. @Ksquared HerO's group is not bad at all, he's only struggling vs zergs, his pvt and pvp are quite strong(his pvp has improved a lot) | ||

2. MaNa, Bly, SaSe 3. Nerchio, TargA, DIMAGA 4. ForGG, NaNiWa, HerO TargA is still disgustingly under rated, but thats normal i guess cos he's still quite new to the international scene. He will most likely do well this tournament. He's also teamless now as MindFreak no longer support PC games. so someone should try to pick him up!! :D | ||

Imho forGG HerO and TaeJa are the best players and its veeery likely one of them will win. | ||

I understand its hard for Koreans to get to regular DH events, but with this price pool (pretty much 4x the pool of the regular events) one could've hoped a few more would come. Still looking good regardless. Its pretty much all top foreigners in full force, and DH almost always puts up a good show. | ||

So while all previous stops were open for everyone, this one is only open for those who performed best at their 4 regular stops (+4 BYOC spots). Less players, more price money, more hype =) | ||

2) I just dont understand why somebody dont use simple system. 3 baskets. P Z T. And you just picking players. Who the hell want to watch 5x ZvZ (bo3!) in row for fuck sake (and its still funniest matchup, PvP and TvT are 9/10 games incredibly boring - im terran) There could be also other ways to do that, but seriously im starting to be really bored because of allzerg and allprotoss groups in tournaments. | ||
